Up Next: Mikal Cronin

Merge Records keeps bringing us great music, some of it you already love; Arcade Fire, She & Him and Neutral Milk Hotel (see more here). Today we’re here to talk about Mikal Croninbecause he’s Up Next. You may know him as a part of Ty Seagall‘s touring band, but he’s been around on his own for a minute too. His last album MCII [Merge Records] (Out Now! GET IT HERE) has been getting some praise because of the opening track “Weight” that takes you on a journey of second-guessing and the fight we go through everyday just to get out of bed.
